Trump reminds me of a line from a movie...sorry...

[CTyankee]

"Women sense my power - and they seek the life essence"

Your guess as to the source of that quote...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. That's Gen. Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove.

Worried a lot about his precious bodily fluids.

[CTyankee]

3. That was fast! Did you know it or google it?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I knew it instantly. It's one of my favorite movies.

[Brother Buzz]

6. Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face

Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Gentlemen, you can't fight here. This is the war room.

[Brother Buzz]

9. I post that one on DU, often

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Lair of the White Worm?

I assume we're supposed to make our guesses without googling.

[CTyankee]

4. It's OK, Velveteen Ocelot got it immediately...heh...

[edhopper]

7. knew it immediately

as well.

[CTyankee]

10. OK, here's one (not a movie)...

SERENITY NOW!!!

[Stardust]

11. Seinfeld. George's father?

[CTyankee]

12. indeed it is...

And another:

Human nature, Mr. Allnut, is something we are placed on earth to rise above.

[Solomon]

13. African Queen

One of my favorite movies. "I never dreamed....!"

[CTyankee]

14. and another....

the tide goes in, the tide goes out, you can't explain that.

edit to add because I couldn't help it for movie villany:

Where's your Messiah now?

[edhopper]

16. First is O'Reilly

second is Edward C. Robinson from Ten Commandments

[CTyankee]

19. wow, you're good on the movie line...

The O'Reilly thing was just plain fun. That guy is truly crazy.

now, this

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.

[edhopper]

20. Orson Wells

The Third Man

[CTyankee]

22. You must know all the great ones!

[edhopper]

23. Years and years of watching movies

[CTyankee]

25. OK, here...

It's important right now that we talk, killer to killer.

that movie had so many great lines it was hard to pick just one (and not the obvious one)...

[edhopper]

27. You got me

I knew it, but couldn't quite remember.

The one I remember is, " It's about time the piano realize it has not written the concerto!

[CTyankee]

29. Try this...it's in the same exchange of dialog...

I am Addison DeWitt. I am nobody's fool, least of all yours.

[edhopper]

30. So many great lines from that movie.

I saw Applause, which was based on it. Good play.

Gotta go now.

I'll check for the art thread later.

[CTyankee]

31. I guess my favorite movie quote of all time is

"Leave the gun, take the canoli."

[edhopper]

15. George's Father

[CTyankee]

17. You can still see that episode on youtube. I loved Seinfeld...

Another art essay tomorrow and I have the feeling I'm going to get some flak from DU folks for what I'm going to say...we'll see...

[edhopper]

18. If you don't get flak

you are doing it wrong.

[CTyankee]

21. even my own husband got a little irritated when I toldhim I was writing it.

And he is not all that interested in art...

[edhopper]

24. pushing boundaries

is one of the reasons for art.

[CTyankee]

26. well, interpretations about art are hotly debated...

oh, well, it'll be fun to see what folks have to say. My last essay's thread of a compare and contrast on Rubens/Rembrandt versions of Descent from the Cross went a little off the rails...

[edhopper]

28. As want to happen

with these things.
